Subject: [PATCH 1/1] x86/fpu: math_state_restore() should not blindly
	disable irqs

math_state_restore() assumes it is called with irqs disabled, but
this is not true if the caller is __restore_xstate_sig().

This means that if ia32_fxstate == T and __copy_from_user() fails
__restore_xstate_sig() returns with irqs disabled too. This trgiggers

Change math_state_restore() to check irqs_disabled().

Note: this is the minimal fix for -stable, it is horrible but simple.
We need to rewrite math_state_restore(), init_fpu(), and cleanup their
users.
